Cloud Rendering Waste Credits and isn't optimized well use at your own risk

Can someone please explain to me why when I start a rendering, I'm waiting 10+ minutes just to see ANYTHING. If I'm just testing a sample because of the "Speed" of the cloud but the status or view port won't give me an image lol. Your service essential doesn't work well and your selling credits that get wasted because committing to a rendering for 10+ mins and sometime even 20 mins (before you can say "Yes that's beautiful" is straight criminal and robbery of credits we pay for. Your credits should be halved until the service works as intended because it sucks right now. I shouldn't be waiting that long to make a decision on if I want to go that direction in the design. I can't be the only who feels this way.

I guess your mileage will vary depending on server load perhaps? I had an animation that would have taken 9 hours to render locally rendered via chaos cloud in about 10 minutes. Some services give you an idea of expected wait times so maybe that's something Chaos could consider...
